Our history
The Family
Hunting has been the common thread uniting generations of the Pietranera family. The story begins with Leone Pietranera (1901), whose passion led him on an African safari in 1936 and to acquire the family’s first hunting estate in Reggio Emilia in 1947.
His son Paolo (1940) carried this legacy forward, managing the Črnomelj hunting estate in Slovenia from 1986, a region renowned for its rich wildlife. Over the decades, the family expanded its presence across Italy and Europe.
Today, the Pietranera family owns two major hunting estates in Italy and exclusively manages select properties in Italy, Bosnia, Croatia, and Turkey. Since 2002, the company has been led by Luca Pietranera (1971), whose global hunting experience defines the philosophy of Hunts Europe where tradition, expertise, and respect for nature come together.
